VIDEO: Donald Trump's Secret Service bodyguard wear 'fake hands' during inauguration parade so he can hold a gun beneath his coat': Armed and dangerous. Trump and Melania were surrounded by Secret Service agents in DC on Friday One of them, a bald man, seemed to have his hands in same position whole time This led to speculation they were prosthetic hands, his real hand on gun trigger But images have now emerged showing the agent's hands in other positions Ex-military man Adam Linehan said he was 'a human man with functional arms'
Social media is awash with claims one of the Secret Service agents protecting President Donald Trump had prosthetic arms, with his real hands on the trigger of a gun under his coat.
The theory stems from analysis of video footage as President Trump, his wife Melania and son Barron went on an informal walkabout down Pennsylvania Avenue after Friday's inauguration.
The Trumps were surrounded by a phalanx of bodyguards in the standard-issue trenchcoats.
But one of the agents came in for particular scrutiny because his arms did not appear to move and his hands remained in the same position for several long minutes.
The theory that he was holding a gun under his coat was only dispelled when emerges and video emerged of him moving his arms and using his hands.
There they are again. The agent's hands appear to be in the same position. So are they actually prosthetic arms? Is his real hand on the trigger of a gun under his coat?
On Friday there was high security as the presidential entourage of limousines traveled for more than two miles down towards the White House, occasionally getting out to greet the crowd.
The last President to be assassinated was John F Kennedy, in Dallas, in 1963 but Trump has polarized opinion in America on a scale never seen before and the Secret Service is clearly jittery about his security.
In March 1981, only two months after his inauguration, President Ronald Reagan escaped an assassination attempt in Washington.
White House Press Secretary James Brady was left paralyzed by a bullet from would-be assassin John Hinckley, who was released from a psychiatric hospital last year.

There was even speculation that hehad a Belgian-made FN-P90 sub-machine gun under his coat.
The FN-P90, which holds 50 rounds, is used by the Secret Service's Emergency Response Teams and is small enough to tuck underneath a winter coat.
The first to discuss the agent was an anonymous writer on the gaming blog Frag Hero who wrote on Saturday: 'After yesterday's presidential inauguration, many members of the military and law enforcement community noticed something very unusual about one of Trump's bodyguards.
'The conclusion they reached was that he did indeed have tactical fake arms.
